A programme for children under five
' He likes it here because he has food and milk and someone to take care of him,' said a little girl as she watched her ' rather grown-up ' black and white kitten. She had listened to Jtan Surchliffe’s story of ' Peter the little Black Kitien ,' and as her mother said, she attributed some of Peter's sentiments ' to her own p:t. In evoking by example, which is always more forceful than precept, such interested and sympathetic consideration by the children of the needs and natures of their pets, our stories can help to incu'cate those ideas of kindness to animals which we would have them develop. This story of the homeless kitten, which has remained a favourite since its first broadcast on the first day of this series, will be heard again on Friday this week.
Tomorrow, being May Day. brings
' The May Day Tree.' by Susanne Hale. It is based on an old country custom and after its broadcast last year we were told of a family of children whose delight in its pretty theme prompted them quite spontaneously to emulation. They. too, took a branch and decked it with flowers and danced like the children in the story.

To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. La<t week Gwen and David spent the week-end with Sally at Rose Cottage. Much to David's annoyance they met Michael Fanshawe there, who was staying with friends nearby. Bob took Poppy to Berridges' social. Afterwards Mr. King reprimanded him for being friendly with a married woman. Bob told Poppy about Mr. King's remarks and she was so annoyed that she pretended to be very friendly indeed with Mr. King, in front of his wife. Bob and Dr. Dale thought they saw a ' ghost-like ' object in Mrs. Mountford's garden. Miss Marchbanks was terrified and asked if she could come and stay with the Dales, but Mrs. Dale persuaded her to remain with Mrs. Mountford.
